I
have added a gallery devoted to video clips. The initial gallery is four HD
clips of the opening of the W A Racing Museum in December 2011. The Museum
(inevitable known as WARM) has its own website, which can be found on the
Links page inside.

This
site is about Western Australian road racing history - and to a lesser extent
other Australian road racing matters.

About
my Motor Racing Books

I
have written two motor racing books -Around the Houses, a History of
Motor Racing in Western Australia 1902-1979; andFast Tracks,
an Atlas of Australian Motor racing Circuits 1904-1994. I am busily
writing a third, Around the Raceway, which is basically a sequel
to Around the Houses, starting with the opening of Wanneroo Park
(or Barbagallo Raceway as it later became) in 1969 and running through to 2009,
the 40th Anniversary of the circuit. (I have also written another book, Murder
on the Rabbit Proof Fence, which doesn't fit in with the theme of this
site but there is a brief page on it as well.)

Around
the Houses is out of print, but a CD-ROM edition exists and is available, and can be obtained through Pit Stop Bookshop on-line. Fast Tracks
is now out of print. There is a bit of a blurb on Around the Raceway
inside this site.

I
am contemplating the possiblity of putting Fast Tracks out as a Kindle
e-book (.mobi format) and generic e-book (.epub) format.

Race
Results

A
substantial part of the site consist of detailed results of Western Australian
race meetings from 1901 to the present day. This is a work in progress,
but the bulk of the job is now done: everything I already had or could find
since is now uploaded. There are, inevitably, a lot of missing items, specially
before 1969. Nevertheless, I figure that the results of about 90 percent of
all the races run in WA are now on-line. The period covered is 1901-2010.

Under
"Articles" you will find lists of winners of WA State Championships,
winners of WA rounds of the Australian Touring Car Championship,
and winners of the 300 km races, and associated data like Lap
Records.

Enjoy!
